Script:
In 2008, America experienced the biggest meltdown of its financial sector since the Great Depression. The conventional wisdom is that this failure and subsequent government rescue, commonly known as "the bailout" was brought about by three decades of bank de-regulation. There were a lot of causes for the meltdown, but deregulation wasn't one of them. Ironically, it wasn't because the banks had become unmoored from government control that led them into the financial storm, it was because they had become too closely tied to government. For three decades Uncle Sam, like an enabling parent, had always "been there" when the big banks got into trouble. The shock in 2008 was that for one brief moment, Uncle Sam wasn't there.
In the wee hours of September 15, 2008, Lehman Brothers filed for bankruptcy. The financial industry waited for the Feds to step in and save Lehman bondholders like it saved those of Bear Stearns some months earlier. That didn't happen. Global financial markets seized up. As the Dow Jones Industrial average fell 498 points, or nearly 4.4 percent, financial institutions effectively went on strike. Banks wouldn't lend money to other banks and thus, indirectly, to the public because they had no idea which financial institution might go belly up next. The economy can withstand a stock-market crash, but a credit-market freeze -- essentially a cash freeze -- can cause a Depression, as credit underpins almost all business and personal activities. Indeed, some large companies, including General Electric, were so dependent on these short-term credit markets that they were in danger of not being able to pay their workers.
The financial industry pleaded with the government to act. Later in the same day, September 15, it did. The Feds wouldn't save Lehman's but it would save AIG, the primary insurer of mortgage loans. A month later, the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP), a $700 billion plan to pump taxpayer cash into America's banks and financial institutions was approved by Congress.
Public officials generally agreed that the free market had failed. In November 2008, President George W. Bush came to New York to explain why he, a Republican president, had signed TARP into law. "I'm a market-oriented guy, but not when I'm faced with the prospect of a global meltdown," he said.
But free-market capitalism had not melted down. Again, the problem was not that banks had been too free, but that they had grown too dependent on government over the last few decades. Here's a brief history.
America's first post-Depression bailout of a big bank came in 1984 when the Republican administration of Ronald Reagan, with help from the Federal Reserve bailed out Continental Illinois, the eighth largest commercial bank in the nation. The bailout introduced the phrase "too big to fail" to the financial media's vocabulary.

How geometry came to the rescue during the banking crisis

http://www.euronews.com/ The head of the European Central Bank has pledged to ensure that the euro's future.
Mario Draghi's signalled was that the ECB will take on the financial markets over high Spanish and Italian borrowing costs.
Draghi called the single European currency "irreversible" adding the "eurozone has the power to defeat market speculation".
At an investment conference in London he said: "Within our mandate, the ECB is ready to do whatever it takes to preserve the euro. And believe me, it will be enough."
The speech caused the euro to jump in value while interest rates on Spanish and Italian bonds fell sharply. Madrid and Rome have been asking the ECB for help for months.
The comments are Draghi's boldest to date. Economists speculated that they are prelude to the ECB finding a way to buy the bonds of the eurozone governments that are under most pressure or supporting them in some other way that ECB rules allow.
The ECB has kept its sovereign bond-buying programme mothballed for months. Internal opposition to reviving it is stiff so focus will now be on what else the ECB could do.
On Wednesday, ECB policymaker Ewald Nowotny broke ranks with his colleagues, saying that giving Europe's permanent rescue fund a banking licence so that it could drawn on central bank funds had merits. Draghi and others have previously rejected that option.
Alternatively, the bank could act as the Federal Reserve and Bank of England have, and opt for straight quantitative easing -- that is printing more money, even though that tends to increase inflation.

Rescue (KAT-TUN song)

"Rescue" is the tenth single by Japanese boy band, KAT-TUN, and their fourth single from their fourth studio album, Break the Records: By You & For You. It was released on March 11, 2009 and became the group's tenth consecutive number one single on the Oricon daily and weekly charts tying them with NEWS for the second longest streak of number one singles since their debut in Japanese music history.

Single information

The single was released in three pressings - a first press limited edition which included a DVD featuring the single's music video and a featurette of the making of the former, a first press normal edition which included a bonus track, and a regular edition with the instrumental versions of the single and its B-side track, "7 Days Battle".

Chart performance

In its first week of its release, the single topped the Oricon singles chart, reportedly selling 322,597 copies. KAT-TUN gained their tenth consecutive number one single on the Oricon Weekly Singles Chart since their debut with all their singles sold more than 200,000 copies and continued to hold the second most consecutive number one singles since debut with fellow Johnny's group, NEWS. By the end of the year, "Rescue" was reported by Oricon to sell 377,097 copies and was later certified Platinum by RIAJ denoting over 250,000 shipments.

Rescue (song)

"Rescue" is the second single released by the band Echo & the Bunnymen. It was released on 5 May 1980 and subsequently included on the Crocodiles album, which was released on 18 July 1980. It was the band's first single to chart, reaching number 62 on the UK Singles Chart. It was also their first release on the newly formed Korova label.

On the single's release, Smash Hits described it as "attractive left field pop" that had "sparse guitarring reminiscent of early cure and plenty of deadpan melodic bite".

The single was reissued as a limited edition 7" single on 4 December 2006 on the same label and with the same catalogue number, KOW 1, and reached number 177 on the UK Singles Chart. A promo 7" version was also released by Korova in January 1983.

Federal Reserve System

The Federal Reserve System‍—‌also known as the Federal Reserve or simply as the Fed‍—‌is the central banking system of the United States. It was created on December 23, 1913, with the enactment of the Federal Reserve Act, largely in response to a series of financial panics, particularly a severe panic in 1907. Over time, the roles and responsibilities of the Federal Reserve System have expanded, and its structure has evolved. Events such as the Great Depression in the 1930s were major factors leading to changes in the system.

The U.S. Congress established three key objectives for monetary policy in the Federal Reserve Act: maximizing employment, stabilizing prices, and moderating long-term interest rates. The first two objectives are sometimes referred to as the Federal Reserve's dual mandate. Its duties have expanded over the years, and as of 2009 also include supervising and regulating banks, maintaining the stability of the financial system and providing financial services to depository institutions, the U.S. government, and foreign official institutions. The Fed conducts research into the economy and releases numerous publications, such as the Beige Book.

Ocean bank

An ocean bank, sometimes referred to as a fishing bank or simply bank, is a part of the sea which is shallow compared to its surrounding area, such as a shoal or the top of an underwater hill. Somewhat like continental slopes, ocean banks slopes can upwell as tidal and other flows intercept them, resulting sometimes in nutrient rich currents. Because of this, some large banks, such as Dogger Bank and the Grand Banks of Newfoundland, are among the richest fishing grounds in the world.

There are some banks that were reported in the 19th century by navigators, such as Wachusett Reef, whose existence is doubtful.

Types

Ocean banks may be of volcanic nature. Banks may be carbonate or terrigenous. In tropical areas some banks are submerged atolls. As they are not associated with any landmass, banks have no outside source of sediments.
Carbonate banks are typically platforms, rising from the ocean depths, whereas terrigenous banks are elevated sedimentary deposits.

Seamounts, by contrast, are mountains, of volcanic origin, rising from the deep sea, and are steeper, and higher in comparison to the surrounding seabed. Examples are Pioneer and Guide Seamounts, west of the Farallon Islands. The Pioneer Seamount has a depth of 1,000 meters, In other cases, parts of a bank may reach above the water surface, thereby forming islands.

Bank Rescue: The Swedish Model

About this Event
07 Jul 2009
BankRescue: The SwedishModel
About the speech:
Mr Lundgren's speech described in detail the causes of the Swedish banking crisis of the early 1990s and the steps he and his colleagues took to resolve it. He left his audience with the message that though no two financial crises are the same, three main challenges always exist: maintaining liquidity, maintaining confidence and restoring the capital base for lending.
After discussing the Swedish case in depth, Mr Lundgren gave a commentary on the history of the current financial crisis to date, focusing on the differing experiences and reactions of the USA and Europe.
The regulation of cross-border transactions, the performance of the Euro, the role of perception and the problem of moral hazard are just some of the ancillary issues that were addressed in this wide-ranging presentation.
About the speaker:
Bo Lundgren is Director General of the Swedish National Debt Office and economic spokesman for the Swedish Moderate Party. As Minister of Fiscal and Financial Affairs, he played a leading role in averting the collapse of the Swedish banking sector in the early 1990s.

The auction got money to the banks and building societies that needed it most urgently.

Klemperer describes how similar auctions can help other government departments allocate resources

ECB's Draghi to the euro's rescue?

http://www.euronews.com/ The head of the European Central Bank has pledged to ensure that the euro's future.
Mario Draghi's signalled was that the ECB will take on the financial markets over high Spanish and Italian borrowing costs.
Draghi called the single European currency "irreversible" adding the "eurozone has the power to defeat market speculation".

The speech caused the euro to jump in value while interest rates on Spanish and Italian bonds fell sharply. Madrid and Rome have been asking the ECB for help for months.

BankRescue: The SwedishModel

Mr Lundgren's speech described in detail the causes of the Swedish banking crisis of the early 1990s and the steps he and his colleagues took to resolve it. He left his audience with the message that though no two financial crises are the same, three main challenges always exist: maintaining liquidity, maintaining confidence and restoring the capital base for lending.
After discussing the Swedish case in depth, Mr Lundgren gave a commentary on the history of the current financial crisis to date, focusing on the differing experiences and reactions of the USA and Europe.

Script:
In 2008, America experienced the biggest meltdown of its financial sector since the Great Depression. The conventional wisdom is that this failure and subsequent government rescue, commonly known as "the bailout" was brought about by three decades of bank de-regulation. There were a lot of causes for the meltdown, but deregulation wasn't one of them. Ironically, it wasn't because the banks had become unmoored from government control that led them into the financial storm, it was because they had become too closely tied to government. For three decades Uncle Sam, like an enabling parent, had always "been there" when the big banks got into trouble. The shock in 2008 was that for one brief moment, Uncle Sam wasn't there.
In the wee hours of September 15, 2008, Lehman Brothers filed for bankruptcy. The financial industry waited for the Feds to step in and save Lehman bondholders like it saved those of Bear Stearns some months earlier. That didn't happen. Global financial markets seized up. As the Dow Jones Industrial average fell 498 points, or nearly 4.4 percent, financial institutions effectively went on strike. Banks wouldn't lend money to other banks and thus, indirectly, to the public because they had no idea which financial institution might go belly up next. The economy can withstand a stock-market crash, but a credit-market freeze -- essentially a cash freeze -- can cause a Depression, as credit underpins almost all business and personal activities. Indeed, some large companies, including General Electric, were so dependent on these short-term credit markets that they were in danger of not being able to pay their workers.
The financial industry pleaded with the government to act. Later in the same day, September 15, it did. The Feds wouldn't save Lehman's but it would save AIG, the primary insurer of mortgage loans. A month later, the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP), a $700 billion plan to pump taxpayer cash into America's banks and financial institutions was approved by Congress.
Public officials generally agreed that the free market had failed. In November 2008, President George W. Bush came to New York to explain why he, a Republican president, had signed TARP into law. "I'm a market-oriented guy, but not when I'm faced with the prospect of a global meltdown," he said.
But free-market capitalism had not melted down. Again, the problem was not that banks had been too free, but that they had grown too dependent on government over the last few decades. Here's a brief history.
America's first post-Depression bailout of a big bank came in 1984 when the Republican administration of Ronald Reagan, with help from the Federal Reserve bailed out Continental Illinois, the eighth largest commercial bank in the nation. The bailout introduced the phrase "too big to fail" to the financial media's vocabulary.

http://www.euronews.com/ The head of the European Central Bank has pledged to ensure that the euro's future.

Draghi called the single European currency "irreversible" adding the "eurozone has the power to defeat market speculation".

The comments are Draghi's boldest to date. Economists speculated that they are prelude to the ECB finding a way to buy the bonds of the eurozone governments that are under most pressure or supporting them in some other way that ECB rules allow.
The ECB has kept its sovereign bond-buying programme mothballed for months. Internal opposition to reviving it is stiff so focus will now be on what else the ECB could do.
On Wednesday, ECB policymaker Ewald Nowotny broke ranks with his colleagues, saying that giving Europe's permanent rescue fund a banking licence so that it could drawn on central bank funds had merits. Draghi and others have previously rejected that option.
Alternatively, the bank could act as the Federal Reserve and Bank of England have, and opt for straight quantitative easing -- that is printing more money, even though that tends to increase inflation.

Script:
In 2008, America experienced the biggest meltdown of its financial sector since the Great Depression. The conventional wisdom is that this failure and subsequent government rescue, commonly known as "the bailout" was brought about by three decades of bank de-regulation. There were a lot of causes for the meltdown, but deregulation wasn't one of them. Ironically, it wasn't because the banks had become unmoored from government control that led them into the financial storm, it was because they had become too closely tied to government. For three decades Uncle Sam, like an enabling parent, had always "been there" when the big banks got into trouble. The shock in 2008 was that for one brief moment, Uncle Sam wasn't there.
In the wee hours of September 15, 2008, Lehman Brothers filed for bankruptcy. The financial industry waited for the Feds to step in and save Lehman bondholders like it saved those of Bear Stearns some months earlier. That didn't happen. Global financial markets seized up. As the Dow Jones Industrial average fell 498 points, or nearly 4.4 percent, financial institutions effectively went on strike. Banks wouldn't lend money to other banks and thus, indirectly, to the public because they had no idea which financial institution might go belly up next. The economy can withstand a stock-market crash, but a credit-market freeze -- essentially a cash freeze -- can cause a Depression, as credit underpins almost all business and personal activities. Indeed, some large companies, including General Electric, were so dependent on these short-term credit markets that they were in danger of not being able to pay their workers.
The financial industry pleaded with the government to act. Later in the same day, September 15, it did. The Feds wouldn't save Lehman's but it would save AIG, the primary insurer of mortgage loans. A month later, the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP), a $700 billion plan to pump taxpayer cash into America's banks and financial institutions was approved by Congress.
Public officials generally agreed that the free market had failed. In November 2008, President George W. Bush came to New York to explain why he, a Republican president, had signed TARP into law. "I'm a market-oriented guy, but not when I'm faced with the prospect of a global meltdown," he said.
But free-market capitalism had not melted down. Again, the problem was not that banks had been too free, but that they had grown too dependent on government over the last few decades. Here's a brief history.
America's first post-Depression bailout of a big bank came in 1984 when the Republican administration of Ronald Reagan, with help from the Federal Reserve bailed out Continental Illinois, the eighth largest commercial bank in the nation. The bailout introduced the phrase "too big to fail" to the financial media's vocabulary.

How geometry came to the rescue during the banking crisis

How geometry came to the rescue during the banking crisis
Subscribe to the Guardian HERE: http://bitly.com/UvkFpD
MathematicianPaul Klemperer of Oxford University describes how he invented an auction based on a new kind of geometry to help the Bank of England as the financial crisis took hold in 2007. The auction got money to the banks and building societies that needed it most urgently. The then governor Mervyn King later called it 'a marvelous application of theoretical economics to a practical problem of vital importance'. Klemperer describes how similar auctions can help other government departments allocate resources

ECB's Draghi to the euro's rescue?

http://www.euronews.com/ The head of the European Central Bank has pledged to ensure that the euro's future.
Mario Draghi's signalled was that the ECB will take on the financial markets over high Spanish and Italian borrowing costs.
Draghi called the single European currency "irreversible" adding the "eurozone has the power to defeat market speculation".
At an investment conference in London he said: "Within our mandate, the ECB is ready to do whatever it takes to preserve the euro. And believe me, it will be enough."
The speech caused the euro to jump in value while interest rates on Spanish and Italian bonds fell sharply. Madrid and Rome have been asking the ECB for help for months.
The comments are Draghi's boldest to date. Economists speculated that they are prelude to the ECB finding a way to buy the bonds of the eurozone governments that are under most pressure or supporting them in some other way that ECB rules allow.
The ECB has kept its sovereign bond-buying programme mothballed for months. Internal opposition to reviving it is stiff so focus will now be on what else the ECB could do.
On Wednesday, ECB policymaker Ewald Nowotny broke ranks with his colleagues, saying that giving Europe's permanent rescue fund a banking licence so that it could drawn on central bank funds had merits. Draghi and others have previously rejected that option.
Alternatively, the bank could act as the Federal Reserve and Bank of England have, and opt for straight quantitative easing -- that is printing more money, even though that tends to increase inflation.

Bank Rescue: The Swedish Model

About this Event
07 Jul 2009
BankRescue: The SwedishModel
About the speech:
Mr Lundgren's speech described in detail the causes of the Swedish banking crisis of the early 1990s and the steps he and his colleagues took to resolve it. He left his audience with the message that though no two financial crises are the same, three main challenges always exist: maintaining liquidity, maintaining confidence and restoring the capital base for lending.
After discussing the Swedish case in depth, Mr Lundgren gave a commentary on the history of the current financial crisis to date, focusing on the differing experiences and reactions of the USA and Europe.
The regulation of cross-border transactions, the performance of the Euro, the role of perception and the problem of moral hazard are just some of the ancillary issues that were addressed in this wide-ranging presentation.
About the speaker:
Bo Lundgren is Director General of the Swedish National Debt Office and economic spokesman for the Swedish Moderate Party. As Minister of Fiscal and Financial Affairs, he played a leading role in averting the collapse of the Swedish banking sector in the early 1990s.
